With abuse of children on the rise by teachers, medical professionals, police, and other State surrogates, the State wants to change the very nature of child protection laws in Europe so they can increase their involvement in "keeping them safe." The rationale for this change? A few highly publicized cases of child abuse. Is that a reason to give the State power over the lives of children over and above their parents?http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/government-corruption-1/next-theyre-coming-for-the-children.html

Do you see what's coming if you're on a Obama black list?Parents have been banned from watching their children compete at sports unless they have been vetted by police.

A school has banned parents from watching their children take part in sports events - unless they pass a criminal records check.

The Isambard Community School in Swindon, Wilts., insists all parents must clear a Criminal Records Bureau check to weed out potential paedophiles.

Neil Park, 54, was furious when he was turned away from watching his son George, 12, play rugby.

The father-of-five said: "I was turned away from the school because I had not been CRB checked.

"I couldn't believe it. Government guidelines state that parents are allowed to watch games.

"But any strangers can be questioned and requested to show the appropriate paperwork, which is fair enough.

"George was really upset by it all. What are they going to stop you going to next? Parents' evening? The school play?

"Or what if England under 16s are playing at the County Ground , will they ask all fans there to be CRB checked?"

The school introduced the new measure at the start of the term to prevent strangers from accessing other parts of the school from the playing fields.

A spokesman said: "It is with regret that from now on we will be unable to accommodate parents wishing to spectate at our sports fixtures unless they are in possession of an up-to-date Swindon Council CRB check.

"At Isambard we take safeguarding very seriously and because of this we are unable to leave gates open for access to sporting venues at anytime during the school day.

"The current access arrangements are frustrating for both Isambard staff and parents and have recently resulted in reception staff and PE staff being on the receiving end of verbal abuse from parents who have become frustrated trying to get into or out of the school."

Other schools in the area have no plans to implement this new policy however.

Clive Zimmerman, head at Lydiard Park Academy, Swindon, said: "We don't have that policy here because there are always staff supervising the children.

"We think it is important that parents can support their children.

"We had our inaugural hockey game at the Link Centre this week, and half of that stadium was filled with parents which is fantastic."

VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The non-profit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) expressed disappointment that California Governor Jerry Brown signed a controversial vaccine bill (AB2109) requiring parents to get the signature of a medical doctor or state designated health care worker to obtain a personal belief exemption to vaccination for their children attending daycare or school. NVIC opposed the bill but noted that Governor Brown listened to public concerns and sent a strongly worded letter to the Assembly reaffirming the right of parents to decline vaccinations for personal and religious beliefs.

Citation:

“Governor Brown should have vetoed this unnecessary bill”

“Governor Brown should have vetoed this unnecessary bill,” said NVIC co-founder and president Barbara Loe Fisher. ”He knew it was a bad bill and made it less oppressive by clearly reaffirming the fundamental right of parents to follow their conscience and religious beliefs when making vaccine decisions for their children.” In a strongly worded letter to the Assembly, Governor Brown directed the Department of Public Health “to allow for a separate religious exemption on the form” that does not require a medical provider’s signature and make sure “parents are not overly burdened” by the law’s implementation. NVIC Director of Advocacy Dawn Richardson said, “Americans stood up and made their voices heard in two states this year – Vermontand California – to protect personal and religious vaccine exemptions. That stand will be made in every state where drug company and medical trade lobbyists try to strip away parental, informed consent and First Amendment rights.” In both California and Vermont, there were bi-partisan, diverse groups of parents, health care professionals, legislators and religious freedom advocates testifying in legislative hearings and holding public demonstrations protesting the erosion of parental informed consent rights. Lobbyists for public health officials, American Academy of Pediatrics, Every Child by Two, California Immunization Coalition and other medical trade groups testified in support of eliminating or narrowly restricting vaccine exemptions.

In California, Dawn Winkler, Michele Gutierrez, and Rob Schneider were among the parents testifying that AB2109 was not about education but about forcing parents to pay for a doctor office visit to beg hostile pediatricians, who are throwing parents out of their offices if they do not follow recommended vaccination schedules, to sign a personal belief exemption. Poor parents, they said, would be disproportionately affected. The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), founded in 1982, is the oldest and largest consumer led non-profit organization dedicated to preventing vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and defending the informed consent ethic.

ANNUAL UNITED NATIONS EVENT GIVES BOOST TO INTERNATIONAL TREATIES, RULE OF LAW

Total control over the parental rights "Rights of the Child" and total control over "the Rights of Personswith Disabilities"

Patricia O'Brien, Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs. UN Photo/JC McIlwaine2 October 2012 – Forty States either signed or ratified international treaties on a range of issues, from protecting children from violence to promoting the rights of persons with disabilities, during the annual high-level event that accompanies the opening of the United Nations General Assembly. “States have again manifested their firm belief in the importance of international treaty law,” the Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and UN Legal Counsel, Patricia O’Brien, said about the week-long 2012 Treaty Event, which wrapped up today at UN Headquarters.

It is only by ratifying, accepting, acceding to, or expressing consent to be bound that a State is actually bound by an international agreement. This year’s event resulted in 87 treaty actions – 30 ratifications, 24 accessions, four acceptances and two consents to be bound, all of which represent the step of becoming party to a treaty.

“The high number of States becoming parties to various treaties makes this one of the most important treaty events in recent years,” said Ms. O’Brien, adding that “it really supports and strengthens the rule of law.” Two States – Indonesia and Swaziland – joined the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography.

“This is a strong expression of commitment to protect children from violence and prevent the risk of their exploitation as victims of sale, prostitution or pornography,” said the Secretary-General’s Special Representative on Violence against Children, Marta Santos Pais.

The Protocol supplements the Convention on the Rights of the Child and provides detailed guidance to support States in their efforts to prohibit, prevent and bring to an end incidents of sexual exploitation of children, and to protect children from being sold for non-sexual purposes, including forced labour, illegal adoption and organ harvesting.

Indonesia and Swaziland, along with Nigeria, also joined another Optional Protocol that strengthens the Convention on the Rights of the Child – on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. The Protocol serves to ensure that children will not be forced to fight in war or be pressed into military service.

Another important treaty action was Samoa’s ratification of the amendments to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on the Crime of Aggression, making Samoa the second State party to the Rome Statute to ratify the amendments which define the crime of aggression. The 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – the first international agreement requiring governments to uphold the rights of children and adults with disabilities– was ratified by Dominica, Israel, Poland, Russia and Swaziland.

Honduras and Portugal joined the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, a 1954 agreement that requires stateless persons – people who are not considered as nationals by any State, but who are not covered by refugee laws either – to be given the same rights as citizens with respect to freedom of religion and education of their children, for instance.

Malta, Nigeria and Turkey ratified the 2005 Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism designed to criminalize acts of nuclear terrorism and to promote police and judicial cooperation to prevent, investigate and punish those acts.

Also, the International Cocoa Agreement, adopted in 2010 to strengthen the cooperation between exporting and importing countries, entered into force provisionally during the Treaty Event, on 1 October 2012, as foreseen in the treaty.

More than 550 multilateral treaties are deposited with the Secretary-General, a number of which are close to achieving universal participation. Others require just a few more instruments of ratification or accession to trigger their entry into force.

-----Senator Mike Lee, Rick Santorum, and Michael Farris will present petition from nearly 9,000 parents of children with disabilities today on Capitol Hill Contact: Jeremiah Lorrig, Home School Legal Defense Association, 540-338-5600PURCELLVILLE, Va., Nov. 26, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, Rick Santorum will speak at a press conference opposing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), at 4:30 p.m. in room 562 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. He will be joined by Senator Mike Lee of Utah, a leading opponent of the treaty, and Michael Farris, LLM, a prominent expert on international law, to present a petition signed by almost 9,000 parents of children with disabilities against the CRPD. Santorum will discuss how being a father of a child with special needs has helped convince him to oppose the treaty.The petition originated as a response to a November 14 statement strongly opposing U.S. ratification of the CRPD by Joni and Friends, a ministry founded by Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic and host of her own radio show. "Joni and Friends holds deep concerns regarding CRPD language on parental rights and the rights of the unborn with disabilities. We are also concerned how U.S. ratification of this treaty would impact U.S. sovereignty," Tada's organization said. The petition states, "As the parent or family member of a person with disabilities, or as one who lives with a disability, I join with Joni and Friends in urging the United States Senate to reject ratification of the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This treaty threatens the traditional right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children, especially if those children live with disabilities, and it limits the ability of the U.S. Congress to make laws for Americans."Michael Farris, founder and chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, highlights the concerns of parents across the country. "We all want to show our love and care for people with disabilities," Farris said. "But all of the rights that parents have under traditional American law, especially the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, will be undermined by this treaty. The United States is a leader in rights for persons with disabilities because we have stuck to the policy of Americans making law for Americans, and that principle should not be undermined."Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- On Tuesday the U.S. Senate voted 61-36 to take up discussion on The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), a treaty that interferes with U.S. law. Although President Obama signed it in 2009, it never passed in the Senate and now needs a two-thirds majority to ratify. Thirty-six senators have signed a letter stating they "will oppose efforts to consider a treaty during this time." The treaty espouses equal rights for the disabled but critics claim it will allow the state to usurp parents' right to determine what is best for their disabled children.

According to Adriana Gonzalez, vice president of Catholics Called to Witness (CC2W.org), "We live in a nation that has taken seriously the rights of people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1991 and several other federal laws provide for the disabled and protect them from discrimination. As Americans, we should not look to a UN treaty to substitute our laws regarding domestic issues."

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum joined Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Michael Farris, President of ParentalRights.org and Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association at a Monday press conference to protest this treaty. They stated that it would undermine parental rights and threaten U.S. sovereignty.

"This would be something unprecedented in American law, to give the state the ultimate authority as to what is the best interest of your child," said Santorum. He brought his wife and disabled 3-year-old daughter born with trisomy 18. "The medical definition of her condition says its incompatible with life," he said. "I hesitate to think what those in government and in charge would think, ...how our daughter should be treated and what medical treatments should be available to her if her diagnosis is incompatible with life."

Leticia Velasquez, co-founder of KIDS (Keep Infants with Down Syndrome) warns, "If this document becomes law, a family which espouses traditional moral values may be accused of impeding the so called right to sexual expression, or abortion. Their child could be removed from their home 'for his own good'."Gonzalez asks people to call their senators. Senator contact information and suggested language can be accessed at CC2W.org. If your senator is one of the 36 who voted "no" on Tuesday, she said, "please thank them and encourage them to vote against the CRPD."http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/2675370984.html

Common Core Standards are being rushed into implementation in many school districts and critics are calling for more scrutiny and transparency.

Common Core logo: ednewscolorado.org

Described as “the latest bandwagon in a series of nationalization drives based on the assumption that educational centralization and “sameness” are better than individual states’ developing approaches to meet the needs of their citizens” by National Review writer John Griffing.The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been integral in financing and pushing CCS into schools.A SeaCoastOnline article notes that the foundation gave the New Hampshire “National Governor’s Association $30,679,116 and the Council of Chief State School Officers $71,302,833 to develop the Common Core” as part of the push into implementation.In Missouri, the Foundation reportedly rolled out “its Shifting into High Gear: Accelerating the Common Core Through Teacher Networks initiative, the foundation will award grants ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 to organizations working to accelerate implementation of the Common Core across a robust teacher network.Back to National Review: “The major bone of contention in the discourse surrounding Common Core appears to be a disagreement over the extent to which Common Core represents an actual “curriculum” that schools in adopting states must follow. But the new federally mandated national teacher evaluation, wherein teachers will be assessed based on conformity with CCS, combined with required testing synchronization, makes Common Core more than a benchmark.

The critics’ basic thrust is that Common Core is invasive and in many cases replaces state oversight and teacher direction with federal authority, violating the constitutional division of power. It is incontrovertible that Common Core directly affects classrooms and drastically reduces teacher discretion and district flexibility. Quibbling over the word “curriculum” is a waste of time.”The Blaze reported on a Common Core video which praises the economics of the Chinese regime – get more on that coverage here= important infos of this socialist agenda

FED PROGRAM PRESCHOOL SAYS PARENTS CANNOT SEND LUNCHES WITH CHILDREN TO SCHOOL ANYMORE UNLES THEY HAVE A DOCTOR'S NOTE by Steve Foley on October 21, 2013

I cannot tell you how hyped up I am at this note my friend Linda received today from her child’s school.Her child has to have DOCTORS NOTE to send a packed lunch to school.And does anyone notice the irony in the “health coordinator” and enforcement of no bagged lunches?

(pic used w/ permission from linda)So I suppose that sending a note that says “I choose to skip the GMO’s in the lunches you serve for a more balanced and safe diet as the parent of this child” doesn’t suffice?This is almost as bad as our schools policies to serve Lemonade and Nachos or Ice cream during Charlotte’s P.E. classes every week.

PURCELLVILLE, Va., Dec. 18, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Senate Bill 248 introduced by Ohio State Senator Capri Cafaro has suddenly become a frontline in the battle over homeschooling freedom. Offered as a response to the tragic death of Teddy Foltz-Tedesco, caused by abuse in January 2013, the bill focuses on imposing dramatic new measures on homeschooling parents.

The bill subjects any prospective homeschooling parent to a wide-ranging social services investigation. Social workers would have to interview parents and children separately, conduct background checks and determine whether homeschooling is recommended or not. If it is not recommended, parents would have to submit to an "intervention" before further consideration of their request to homeschool.

But there is no direct link between Teddy being homeschooled and his abuse. Virtually every news report on the case indicate that neighbors, family, police, public school teachers, and others knew about the abuse for years. HSLDA Attorney for Ohio Member Affairs Michael Donnelly points out the tragic failure of those responsible to protect Teddy from known abuse and said, "SB 248 is pursuing the wrong strategy for addressing underlying problems that led to Teddy's tragic death."

"This bill does not solve the failure of government agents to act in the face of known abuse in this case," Donnelly continued. "Police, teachers and social workers apparently knew Teddy had been abused for years -- why wasn't something done? Instead of focusing on and fixing these failures, Senator Cafaros' misguided bill violates fundamental American values -- parents have a fundamental right to direct their children's education without unwarranted government interference and citizens are presumed innocent until proven guilty."

Donnelly suggests that the bill would further stretch scarce social services resources -- increasing the load on social workers by requiring them to investigate all families who want to homeschool rather than focusing resources on parents actually suspected of child abuse.

HSLDA condemns child abuse and is saddened by Teddy's death. HSLDA supports the prosecution of child abusers like Bush and the improvement of systems that prevent child abuse. SB 248 is however a step in the wrong direction.

HSLDA has requested members contact the bill's sponsors to ask them to withdraw Senate Bill 248. A misguided attack on homeschooling in Ohio may be a precursor to more general attempts to impose similar restrictions in other states.

LONDON MAYOR CALLS FOR STATE TO TAKE CHILDREN BASES ON PARENTS’ POLITICALS BELIEFS

UKIP members already being targeted by social services

Paul Joseph WatsonInfowars.comMarch 3, 2014

Parents with radical political beliefs should have their children taken by the state, according to London Mayor Boris Johnson, a chilling prospect given that parents who support major political parties like UKIP are already being targeted by social services.

Image: Boris Johnson (Wiki Commons).

Writing in his weekly column, Johnson said that, “The law should obviously treat radicalisation as a form of child abuse.”

While the idea is being promoted under the ostensibly reasonable justification that it will stop children being turned into “potential killers or suicide bombers,” Johnson said it could also be applied under more vague circumstances, such as if the child is taught to be “full of hate.” = Like anti-immigration (who refuse to be invade by the muslim brotherhood jihadist warriors) patriots, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-gay, homeschooling, christians, etc.

The Mayor said that children whose parents are supporters of the British National Party, a right-wing organization that vehemently opposes immigration, may be taken into care in “extreme” circumstances.

However, children are already being seized from their parents under much less extreme circumstances.

In 2012, a couple had their foster children removed from their care by a local government council because they were members of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which is the third largest political party in the United Kingdom and is expected to win the upcoming European Parliamentary elections. = In USA, you can refer to the Tea Party. You can see what's coming soon.

Social workers told the parents, who had an exemplary record for fostering children, that the kids had been taken due to them belonging to a “racist party”. UKIP was deemed to be “racist” by the council because it opposes the “active promotion of multiculturalism.”

If the same standard is applied across the pond, many conservatives and libertarians face having their children seized since the Department of Homeland Security now characterizes “liberty lovers” as extremists and puts them in the same bracket as violent terrorists.

Johnson’s editorial arrives just weeks after a law was passed in Scotland that designates a state minder to every child in the country up to the age of 18, a move described by the Christian Institute as a, “dreadful extension of the state’s tentacles into family life.”

The law basically treats every parent as a potential child abuser and tasks government snoops with the responsibility of keeping tabs on kids in a program that sounds like it was ripped straight from the pages of a dystopian novel like Brave New World.

Abertay University’s Dr Stuart Waiton said that state guardians would be “less likely to focus on the very few serious cases of child abuse” as these will become “lost in the crowd” of an expanded list of concerns.

Do they have the power to detain and question a child without parental permission?

Apparently they think they do according to a new Michigan medical records access law which reportedly requires doctors to have a private conversation with minors when their parents bring them in for medical care.

This is the notice Christy Duffy saw posted at her physician’s office when she brought her 17-year old daughter in for a minor foot injury.

When Mrs. Duffy returned home she penned the following public service announcement warning parents about what to expect the next time they visit their doctor:

Citation:

Let’s get one thing straight: no doctor or nurse is going to sequester my children in an exam room and talk to them privately. Period. This public service announcement made necessary because of this sign, posted at the check-in counter of my doctor’s office.

I was there last week for an appointment for Amy. She hurt her foot, which makes dancing difficult, so we had to get that checked out.

Amy is 17; I asked if this policy was in effect and if so, how could I opt out. The receptionist told me it’s a new law and there is no opting out. Working to keep my cool, I said, “I’m sure there is.” She said, “No, there isn’t.” At which point I asked if I needed to leave and go to the urgent care center because I was not submitting my daughter to such a conversation.

That did not go over well

The receptionist closed the window. Almost immediately, the office manager turned the corner and said, “Mrs. Duffy, may I speak with you?”

She said there was a new policy that would allow a child to access his/her medical records online and the child would be allowed to block a parent from viewing the website. The nurse would also inform my children that the doctor’s office is a safe place for them to receive information about STDs, HIV and birth control. That is what the nurse would be chatting about with my children without any pesky parental oversight.

I kindly informed her that no one would be talking with my children privately, and I needed to know how to opt out of this policy before bringing Amy back for her physical next month. (Yay for physicals! Amy is so excited.)

By this time, the doctor was ready to see Amy so I had to cut the conversation short because I was not letting my girl out of my eyesight or earshot. Not when it was clear that these people were angling to undermine my parental authority.

Does that sound a bit dramatic to you? It shouldn’t. Because that is exactly what they are trying to do.

Make sure this is crystal clear: what they want to do is talk to your child about sex and drugs (maybe rock and roll – who knows?) without your input. Is it really such a stretch to imagine that a doctor who does not value abstinence before marriage would encourage your daughters – as young as 12! – to receive birth control? Is it really such a stretch to imagine a nurse telling a young boy – because a 12 year old boy is a BOY – that she will give him condoms so he can be “safe”? Is this what you want told to your children without the ability to filter the info through your world view?

Should a doctor ever ask to speak to a child without a parent present? If he/she suspects abuse then of course. But short of evidence of abuse, a doctor should not need to speak to a child alone.

I am the Mom. I will pick who can talk to my kids about sex and drugs. And rock-n-roll for that matter.

Regardless what health care provider you choose, please know that no one has the right to remove you from your child’s exam room. Perhaps if more of us stood up for our rights as parents, this ludicrous undermining of parental authority might end.

We are living in a new America, one in which officials and their subordinates will stop at nothing to control every aspect of our lives, as well as those of our children.

They pass laws forcing medical providers to do their dirty work or risk losing their practice. They attempt to force parents to comply or risk losing their children to Child Protective Services.These kinds of transgressions against personal liberty are being attempted on all levels.

In our school cafeterias children are having their lunches thrown away and being forced to purchase Obamafood pushed through by the First Lady via no-pay/no-food policies.

If your child is diagnosed with a medical condition like cancer and you opt out of traditional medical treatment for fear it will do more harm than good or because of religious reasons the government can usurp your parental rights, take your children and force them to receive experimental chemotherapy.And, if it were up to the Justice Department, parents who choose to homeschool their children would be deemed criminals, or worse yet, terrorist enemies of the state.

With tens of thousands of laws on the books and more coming, it is only a matter of time before the government will have given themselves permission to do whatever they like with you… and your children.

And if you disagree, protest or fight, they have a heavily militarized domestic police force standing by and ready to rescue your children by kicking in your doors and flash-banging your baby’s crib.

HILLSBORO, N.D., Feb. 25, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Bureau of Indian Affairs issued new ICWA guidelines on February 24. These guidelines claim to clarify existing law for the protection of families - despite marginalizing the rights of birth parents as well the reality of extended non-tribal birth family. There is no acknowledgement that the vast majority of eligible children are multi-racial and 75% of eligible families live outside of Indian Country. Every State court in the nation is required to apply these rules effective immediately.

The rules clarify that tribal governments can intercede at any point of a proceeding on the basis that the tribe's rights have been violated. Parental wishes or the best interest of a child do not need to be considered. The rules state Congress has already decided a child's best interest is with the tribe. Birth parents can still refuse tribal court, but not extended family in the case of a birth parent passing away.

The Rules further state:

It doesn't matter if the child lives on or off the reservation,

There is no need for a certain blood quantum. Tribal government has total say over whether a child is a member and subject to ICWA,

EVERY child custody case MUST be vetted to see if it is ICWA, because children who are just 1% heritage might not look Indian - so courts must question EVERY child.

If there is any question that a child is Indian - he is to be treated as such until proven otherwise,

The tribe has a right to interfere in a family even if the child is not being removed from the home.

No one is to question the placement decision of tribal court, because pointing out that a certain home has a history of child abuse would undermine the authority of tribal court.

The only "best interest" of importance is keeping the child with the tribe. It repeats there is "a presumption that ICWA's placement preferences are in the best interests of Indian children; therefore, an independent analysis of 'best interest' would undermine Congress's findings."

These rules reiterate the prejudicial assumption that everyone with any tribal heritage has exactly the same feelings, thoughts and needs. It prejudicially assumes it is always in the best interest of a child to be under the jurisdiction of tribal government, even if parents and grandparents have chosen and raised them in a different environment with different worldview.

The Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare (CAICW, founded by tribal member Roland J. Morris and his wife after becoming concerned for the welfare of extended family, is both a ministry and advocacy group. CAICW has been advocating since February 2004 for families at risk of harm from the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Our advocacy has been both judicial & educational, as well as a prayer resource for families and a shoulder to cry on.

They are barely seven years old, but these glum-looking children are already being drafted into a tyrannical regime hellbent on waging nuclear war with the world.

Standing in arrow-straight rows, their faces are hardly the picture of happiness as they are forced to pledge their allegiance to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and call him 'father'.

Troubling images of them being inducted into an organisation likened to the Hitler Youth emerged as their despot leader pressed ahead with plans to launch a ballistic missile, potentially with nuclear capabilities.

N KOREA DEFECTOR TELLS OF LIFE IN 'VIRTUAL PRISON'

A North Korean woman has told how she was so desperate to escape the pariah state's reign of terror she risked the execution of her entire family to smuggle them out of the country.

Lee Hyeonseo, right, said the communist regime forced people to live in a 'virtual prison' with no concept of human rights.

Anyone caught trying to defect is routinely sentenced to death as Kim Jong Un attempts to hide the reality of food shortages, labour camps and indoctrination from the outside world.

And because punishment is handed down for three generations, even the husband or wife, children and grandchildren of those who escape are imprisoned.Miss Lee said she made the 'the long and very difficult' journey to South Korea after bribing her way out of the country.

She did not give details how she managed it, but she very likely didn't have any money.

Speaking from a drop-in centre for North Koreans at a Seoul University, she told Sky News: 'People in the north don't know the truth about what is going on as they can't hear or see anything about the wider world.

'They don't know about human rights or the suffering. They live in a virtual prison.'The celebrations took place two days after North Korea's military threatened to fire at South Korean media companies unless they apologised for criticisms of the festivities, including a report comparing them to Hitler Youth rallies.

They are taught to be loyal to the Kim dynasty, with education about the accomplishments of the Communist republic's founder Kim Il Sung and late leader Kim Jong Il.

At the age of 13, they move on to the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League.

As tensions on the Korean peninsula continued to escalate today, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry touched down in South Korea this morning just hours after a Pentagon agency has concluded that the secretive country could have a likely ability to launch a nuclear-armed missile at its enemies.

The details were leased in Pentagon Defense Intelligence Agency documents from last month that were mistakenly marked as unclassified.

The papers detailed that they have ‘moderate confidence’ that Pyongyang is able to launch ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons.However, this was later played down the Obama administration.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was in London for the G8 Summit, touched down at the Seoul military airport in Seongnam Friday as part of a spearheaded effort to shift power toward Asia and away from Europe and the Middle East.

In a landmark speech in Seoul, Mr Kerry gave the strongest indication yet that military force could be used to tackle the escalating crisis on the Korean peninsula.

He said: 'The U.S., South Korea and the international community are united in the fact that North Korea will not be accepted as a nuclear power.

'The rhetoric we are hearing from North Korea is simply unacceptable. I'm here to make it clear today that the U.S. will defend our allies and ourselves.'He went on to say the ultimate aim was to establish peace and the eventual reunification of the two Koreas.

Mr Kerry’s trip was long-planned ahead of the crisis in North Korea, and the Secretary of State is scheduled to tour two other nations during his visit.

But he will likely seek to cool tensions following weeks of heightened rhetoric from Kim Jong Un.

Hours earlier, President Barack Obama demanded an end to the escalating war rhetoric from Pyongyang.

In his first public comments since North Korea warned of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, Obama called it time for the isolated nation 'to end the belligerent approach they have taken and to try to lower temperatures.'

The secret assessment by the Pentagon was brought to the public eye on Thursday at the House of Representatives’ Armed Services committee by a congressman as he questioned senior Pentagon officials over the true threat North Korea has.

The documents, which were confirmed to CNN, are an alarming development in the escalating situation in North Korea.

Rep Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado, who questioned senior Pentagon officials Thursday, quoted the document, which read: 'DIA assesses with moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles, however the reliability will be low.
